"Hello?" Andy laughed grabbing and answering the phone as she walked in late that night. She and the boys were a little drunk.
They had just came in from a fun afternoon out. She took them to the CN Tower, then they bought cheap tickets and went into the Rogers Center to see a Blue Jays game that night. They went to the Beer Market restaurant and now were arriving back home. Juice and Halfsack had both disappeared the second the phone rang, both probably thinking it was Jax and they'd get in trouble for them letting her drink so much and for them drinking so much too.
"Andy, it's Tracy I've been trying to call you all afternoon." She scolded, but worried about her.
"Sorry, Trace I was out doing stuff. Busy day." She said trying to find something to tell her.
"You drop a bomb like that this morning and disappear like that. We all came by earlier tonight and you weren't home." She told her, making Andy know she was right to grab the guys and leave the apartment.
"I wasn't home, I went out with friends to a game and to dinner. I don't think I need to report where I go to you." Andy told her rolling her eyes. Feeling her good mood slipping away.
"I know you don't, we just thought you'd be home so we could talk."
"There isn't anything to talk about. I texted Dov earlier he said we can all get together for a goodbye thing at the Penny on Wednesday. I have to spend Thursday with my dad."
She told her as she saw Juice come out of her room with a pillow and a blanket and walk over to the couch. Pointing that she should take her room now. Andy nodded to him and walked with the cordless phone into her room. Closing the door and looking for some PJ's.
"Ok, well obviously you don't want to talk about your just deciding to move away."
"There's nothing to talk about Tracy, I don't think you get that. I've talked about it with my father. I've talked about it with my uncle. I've talked about it with..." she trailed off wanting to say Jax but stopped herself, "my cousin" she said instead. My mind is made up and it's done. My apartment is up for sale and I've left the division."
"There's nothing we can say to talk you out of this?" Tracy asked her.
"No, there's nothing. I love my life there and that's where I want to be."
"Ok, I guess I'll see you Wednesday then." Tracy told her quietly. Andy not quiet believing that they won't try to show up again tomorrow.
"I'll see you then, night." Andy said hanging up the phone and then falling backwards on the bed before muttering, "one day down, 5 more to go."
She woke up to a loud banging the next morning, groaning at what that was. Andy slowly rolled out of bed coming out of her bedroom to see Juice standing outside her front door with the gun looking out the peephole.
"McNally, open up I know you're in there." She heard Sam yell. Andy closed her eyes before sighing.
"Jesus Christ." She said out loud. She pointed to the spare bedroom signaling Juice to go in there with Halfsack. He looked at her with concern not wanting to leave her with this guy, Jax had warned him about him before they left.
"Go, he sees you here he'll figure out you're SAMCRO." She whispered. "I can handle myself, promise." She said as Juice gave in and went into the spare room with Halfsack, waking him up and both of them standing right outside the door with the gun in case they needed it.
Andy walked over to the door and opened it wide.
"Good morning to you too." She muttered.
Sam walked in angrily, mad at her that she was moving, mad she was probably running away, that he'd might never see her again or have a chance to fix his mistakes. He walked in and looked around, seeing the suitcase by the door that was finished packing and the other one open on the floor. Seeing boxes piled to the side marked with the word "Donate" on it.
"So that's it, you're going just like that?" He said seeing how she had been packing.
Andy closed her eyes and walked into the kitchen and put on the coffee maker, it was too early for this and she was still on California time so her internal clock was all screwed up.
"Yes, I'm leaving and no not just like that. It's not like I'm never coming back anyways, my dad is still here." Andy yelled getting mad at people trying to make her stay.
"Why, Andy?" He said coming up behind her.
"Sam, I am loving my life out there. Love spending time with all my family and being with the kids. This isn't about here, or the station, this is about where I need to be to feel alive and live my life and that's in California. This is not up for debate with anyone." She said sternly.
Sam didn't want her to go, he felt selfish not caring about her family because she was leaving.
"What about us?" He asked her grasping at anything, as she turned around from the coffee maker in surprise.
"Sam, there is no us. We've been over for a very long time. Your choice and decision." She reminded him.
"I know, but may be later in the future..." He trailed off as Andy looked a him like he was insane.
"No, no, not later in the future anything. We have and had no future Sam, for so many reasons." She told him seriously as he looked at her for a long time realizing that she was really over him and that he had screwed up the best thing that ever happened to him. Oliver was right, he should have fixed it before he ran out of time. He had run out of time and he'd lost her, he wasted 8 months with Marlo when he should have waited for Andy, Sam realized.
" I have to get to the station." He said nodding at her and turning around to leave. "That's it then?" He said turning back around.
"That's it then." Andy smiled trying to be nice, feeling bad for hurting him. "Dov's throwing me a goodbye thing at the Penny on Wednesday." She told him.
"I'll be there." He smiled before walking out the door.
Andy turned around sighing and looked at the spare room door, going to go let Juice and Halfsack out.
She made breakfast, then spent at least fifteen minutes on the phone with Jax who put Abel on the phone this time. He said he was doing better than yesterday. After hearing Andy's voice on the phone, Jax said Abel looked up and around for her then started giggling and blowing his bubbles to the phone realizing her voice was coming from it. Andy did not want to hang up the phone, but Jax had to go to TM and she had to go pack.
As Juice and Halfsack, ate breakfast. She went into her bedroom put one suitcase on the bed, then opened the closet and started pulling out everything. She folded it all and just started placing it all in the suitcase. In a matter of no time the closet was empty. She had all her purses at the bottom and threw all those in the suitcase too. Closing it up and dragging it off the bed and putting it by the door.
Since there was 3 of them and that Juice and Halfsack only had duffel bags as carry ons. She could take 6 suitcases back with her. They all could check 2 each for her. She was hoping all her stuff would fit in 6 and she'd have to ship nothing.
She grabbed another suitcase she had and opened it on the bed, then went to her dresser drawer and opened up all the drawers. Grabbing all the underwear, socks, bras, tanks, PJs, sweats she had and putting them in the suitcase. All the left over jeans and skirts she didn't take with her on the first trip she threw in this suitcase. She grabbed all her robes and put them also in this suitcase. Then she looked around and realized she packed all the clothes and had nothing to wear now for the rest of the week.
She laughed at herself before just pulling the suitcase on the floor and leaving it open. She then went over to the one she had finished and opened that one too. She'd just live out of them until Friday she decided. She grabbed another bag and went into the bathroom, grabbed all the makeup she had in there and all the makeup and jewelry she had in her room dumping it all in the bag.
She was going to be done in no time, so she walked out to the living room where the guys were eating and asked them what they wanted to do today. Thinking that she should take them somewhere else to do some sight seeing.
"Anywhere." Juice said as Andy smiled thinking of some place they'd love.
"I got it! Be ready in 5." She told them as she picked up the phone calling to get her dads car for the day.
"Do you know where Juice is right now?" Tig said walking into the clubhouse as Jax, Clay, Chibs and Opie all sat around.
"Toronto, with Drea." Jax said.
"No, not in Toronto with Drea. He's in the bloody Niagara Falls. Literally in the Niagara Falls. He called me from it." He said them as they all looked on in confusion.
"He fell in?" Chibs asked making Jax laugh.
"No, Andy took him and Halfsack on some boat ride that takes you into the Niagara Falls. I thought they're supposed be protecting her, working and packing shit up. Not having a vacation." Tig said pissed that Juice was having fun and they were stuck in Charming being shot at.
"They are, Andy was almost finished when I talked to her this morning, so she probably took them there for the afternoon. Sightsee, get out of the apartment so nobody would find them there if anyone showed up unannounced. She took them to the CN Tower the other day."
"What?" Tigs said mad even more now. "We're here being shot at by Mayans and Cartels and they're on a flipping vacation. I should have went." He declared.
"You didn't want to go because manual labor was involved." Clay pointed out flatly.
"Well nobody told me they'd be doing fun shit too." Tig muttered as Jax rolled his eyes.
Jax was happy that Andy was going out and having fun her last few days there. Taking the guys out probably helped her not be sad over missing him and Able. how her friends and dad were reacting to her leaving.
Them going out also kept them all away safely from the people who may recognize Juice and Halfsack.
Andy, Juice and Halfsack didn't get back to her apartment until 2am in the morning, they had spent the entire day at Niagara Falls. Andy taking them to the landmark attraction, going on the boat ride into the falls, visiting all the attractions, the street of fun stuff, ate lots of drunk and then hit the casino.
"I'm so glad I asked Jax to come along." Juice said happily as they walked back into Andy's.
"This is the best assignment ever!" Halfsack said as Andy laughed. "I'm glad you're enjoying it."
Andy checked the time, seeing it was still early in Charming grabbing the phone to call Jax.
"Hello gorgeous." Jax answered.
"Hi handsome." She giggled.
"Heard you were literally in the Niagara Falls today." He laughed quietly. Not wanting to wake Abel who just went down a lot more fussy than normal. He wanted Andy, they all knew it but there was nothing they could do except tell him she'd be home soon.
"Tig? I told Juice not to call him, but he insisted. he was so excited. How mad is he?"
"Oh he's pissed, I don't think you're ever leaving Charming on a trip again without him." Jax told her seriously.
"You ok, you sound tired." Andy asked him hearing some weary in his tone. Knowing something was off.
"Drive by, last night." He told her.
"Shit, you ok?" She asked sitting up worried.
"Fine, everyone's fine. Nobody was hit on our end. Just have to deal with all this cartel fighting shit."
"Do you need Juice and Halfsack back? They can go back, I'm fine to handle the rest of this on my own."
"No, they are not to go anywhere. We're good here, don't worry. Your job is to just pack up and come home to us on Friday like planned." He told her. Andy was still worried though and at this point wanted to leave right now.
"We can all come back early, move the flight up..." she started to say before Jax interrupted her.
"No. You are staying until Friday, hopefully we can find out who ordered the hit by then. I don't want you coming back to this." He told her seriously.
"Abel?" She asked wondering about him.
"In bed with me right now. Got Miles and the other Prospect in the house with him and Gemma during the day. He's the safest kid in the world." He told her reassuringly.
"Ok. we'll stay and finish up." She conceded and yawned feeling exhausted.
"Yes, keep to the plan and continue enjoying yourself. I love you. Now go sleep." He told her.
"Ok. Love you night." She whispered to him hanging up and crawling into bed not even bothering to get a pair of PJ's because she had packed them all in the suitcase.
